About Me

I love art! and love to sew! There is not a day that goes by where I am not creating something. Most of my work is completely random depending on my moods. I like to use a variety of upholstery, leather and other scrap materials to create one of a kind handbags. My love for nature and gardening inspires me to create unique handbags with flower details and bright colors and many of my pieces include insects and birds.

Not sure where this idea came from. I visited a friend this afternoon who is a big inspiration to me! She gave me some great advise on the girl in the garden fabric collage I was working on last week so I will be attempting to quilt it soon. I don't consider myself a quilter but I do like the art quilting and love to experiement with fabric collage. I was thinking about a butterfly project today and suddenly I thought of this image. I am making the tree out of some scrap leather I just used on another bag in progress and I am finally using the pinking sheers I bought to create some flowers and leaves. The leaves in the tree are a combination of leather, ultrasuede, denim and upholstery. I painted the background in a golden yellow adding texture and was thinking of applying some copy in some bright colors. This is a combination of a couple sketches I had drawn up a long time ago so I am glad I am playing some more. I didn't really plan on doing a project like this and it is completely random, I have to say that even without thinking the paints ended up in my hands and I had to just go with it.This will more than likely become a wall hanging. It is amazing at where a little inspiration will take you.
